The Adventures of Percy, Awesome Opossum: Cougar's Tooth

Percy knows the meaning of almost every word-and he is always ready to explain it. When a muddy raccoon named Rangy arrives with news of Tawny, a cougar hunting close to the smaller animals' homes, Percy follows the evidence west. Across storm-soaked roads, a broken beaver dam, missing acorns, and a dangerous ridge, Percy and Rangy discover that the forest's fiercest problem may be pain. To solve the mystery of the cougar's tooth, Percy will need knowledge, Rangy will need courage, and both will need to trust each other. Set in 1930s Oklahoma, The Cougar's Tooth is a full-color, vocabulary-rich animal adventure that helps growing readers use context clues, understand challenging words, and learn accurate facts about wildlife-without leaving the story behind. Ideal for upper-elementary readers, classrooms, families, and anyone who enjoys clever animal mysteries.
